Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014. I specialize in working with individuals carrying the weight of significant trauma, addictions, unresolved grief, and painful life experiences that can feel isolating or overwhelming. I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.

I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan, and I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, identity questions, or the quiet pressure of holding everything together without feeling seen.

I work with men, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent adults, and people of color, particularly those who feel misunderstood or overlooked. Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside over time.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.


I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.


You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.

Hello!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (state of MI) and Psychotherapist. I work as an in-person psychotherapist in California at the federal level. I currently am able to offer virtual mental health therapy sessions to Michigan residents through Headway as well. I refuse to give up my Michigan roots. I love my home state!

I am a graduate from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for my undergraduate (BA in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science) and graduate (Master of Social Work) education. Go blue! I accept Spartans as clients too, don't worry. (Go green! Go white! 😀)

I have over a decade of experience in trauma work, grief, depression, managing psychosocial stress, anxiety, building self-esteem, helping people set boundaries with themselves and others, learn how to own their own space in this ever-evolving world, and so much more!

I believe a diagnosis is only a part of a person NOT the person's entire identity. The truth is, we all have problems, some are just better at hiding them. So, no judgement here. You deserve to feel loved, respected, and appreciated by others, but above all else, by yourself.

Tell me how I can help and if you don't know, let's figure it out together.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Muskegon

Searching for therapists in Muskegon starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for therapy in Muskegon for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or counseling for couples and families.

In a smaller city like Muskegon, the number of nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Michigan markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Michigan. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist works, what they focus on, and whether their communication style fits what you’re looking for.

Therapy in Muskegon can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can compare therapists in Muskegon, review their profiles, and find someone who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.
